You mean that they are removed from the store channel? If so, no, that would 
be a bug, probably in the Manager app.

The tags added to a store channel are immediately recorded on the server side 
and only removed if told to. I’ll have this looked into.

Yes. The word “partner” is in relation to the warehouse; so you are a 
“partner” with the warehouse. That partnership may have more than one person 
in it, but it does not need to.

That’s a very interesting perspective on things: that perhaps people may wish 
to find partners via bodega. As I have only considered “partner” to mean “a 
partner with bodega” I have not explored this concept. I will think about it 
though :)

Yes, we have a set of announcements that will be made on the 25th of November 
.. that will come with an entirely new website to support everything we are 
doing along with some new products.
